  Riff Q Tips 1:  I find Option 1 easier on an acoustic, so the hand is in place to play the C
              2:  More comfortable if you feel like repositioning your hand and barring 
(electric)

  Riff R Tips 1:  () in Riffs above means pull-off
                  () below in the SONG section means its optional backup/filler, or optional 
singing notes

              2:  You'll hear these Riffs played quietly in the first verse and during the 2nd 
build.
                  If you have fast hands, you might be able to pull it off - OR you've got 
backup

  Outro Riff:     Not perfect, passable rendition


CHORDS____________________________________________________________________________________________________

  On the Chorus and Drop, I think the following chord progressions are all viable.

  T: Dm - F  - C - G       OR       U: Dm - Am - F - G       OR       V: Dm - F - Am - G

  My preferences are:  Chorus (V-V-V-V); Drop (V-T-V-T)

  General Note 1) The chorus in the official version is sung over bass notes.
                  I treat more like a bridge here and suggest a strumming pattern.
                  I suggest keeping Drop to 2x unless you can sing the high notes on the 2nd 
round, then 4x ok
